Hi Stunt,

 

When you say this is an "opinion," if you're referring to the term "Vendetta" used in the title of the article, then I agree, that is an opinion.  Mr. Eastwood's legal issues with the State of CA is a matter of public record.  As for the outcry from the media, left or right, about Mr. Moore, I did a Google search on both Eastwood and Moore, with 1,660,000 hits for Eastwood and 16,700,000 hits for Moore.  I didn't take the time to check if a hit was from the left or the right, but over 10 million more hits for Moore sounds to me as there was some kind of cry about him.  The only mention I found about Mr. Moore being sued over any movie, and I've already said I didn't check-out every hit, are these two from FILM LAWSUITS IN THE NEWS. http://www.indieclear.com/film_lawsuits.htm

 

Michael Moore sued over anti-gun movie

Associated Press

Wednesday, October 29, 2003

Detroit — James Nichols, the brother of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, says he was tricked into appearing in the anti-gun documentary Bowling for Columbine, according to a federal lawsuit filed against filmmaker Michael Moore.

Columbia Pictures v. Michael Moore  

Status: Judge ruled June 3, 1998, Miramax's Big One posters must come down.

Filed: April 15, 1998
United States District Court, Los Angeles

The Case: Columbia Pictures is suing Miramax Films and Mayfair Entertainment for copyright infringement and unfair competition, claiming the distributors stole the advertising concept from 1997's Men in Black campaign and used it to promote the Michael Moore mockumentary The Big One.

The suit seeks unspecified damages and an injunction on The Big One's movie poster and trailer.

 

The National Spinal Cord Injury Association may, in your opinion, be from the leftist media, but in their article they spoke of "exploration" not "exploitation"  Perhaps, as you say, "The choice of words reveals the person."  Not having seen either movie I have only what I've read about the men and their movies to go on, so I will not claim to know either of their motives, but my common sense tells me they both have motives when they make movies.  Be it fame, fortune, or other issues, their motives are why they make movies.   

 

With Love,

A piss poor one at that.
The choice of words reveals the person.
Wonder WHY THEY CLAIM HE HAS A VANDETTA?
(excuse the caps)
Could it be a whiner that meathead moore didn't win it?
Where was the outcry from the leftist media when meathead moore lied to
and used a student in a wheelchair (who sued him) in the farce Bowling
for Columbine?
Now THAT was exploitation.
